I like the intensity of this offering Eileen. There is a clear intellectual and moral honesty to it. You speak for many and that has tremendous value.
Look forward o the next one!

I would include the final lines as you have them in your Bio, although the starkness of this version is very intense. Perhaps the omission is on purpose.

The content and its message are timeless in the context
of growing up and each generation seems to need the
lesson taught and heeded - or dangerously disregarded.
The young can think they know it all
Cinderellas at the ball.
When self-deception comes to call
Pride and pain precede the fall.
